Eastern Michigan University will hold two forums Monday to provide additional updates on safety and security measures, following a string of violent crimes in the area.

Two 'Conversations with the President: Safety and Security,' will take place on Monday, from 9-10 a.m. in 320 Pray-Harrold and from 3-4 p.m. in Room 318 of the College of Business.

EMU President Susan Martin, Police Chief Bob Heighes and Provost Kim Schatzel will be on hand to provide updates.

"I recognize that many of you have questions and concerns about safety," Martin wrote in an email to the campus community. "I plan to continue to be available to answer questions and provide updates about safety and security matters in the days and weeks ahead."

Demarius, 20 and an EMU football player, was found at 7:15 a.m. last Friday shot to death in the hallway of a building in a University Green apartment complex in the 700 block of West Clark Road in Ypsilanti.

During the forums, the university has made key announcements about increased patrols and plans to collaborate with the city of Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Township and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office.
